Description
The South Route on Mount Jarvis makes for an excellent skiing objective. The slope ranges from 30-40 degrees and offers a good fall line descent. The glacier travel in this area is pretty straight forward for the Wrangells. The LZ is at about 8,000ft and another camp can be made at about 9,800ft.
The views from this area are some of the best! To the south you are looking at the serrated Wrangell skyline, Mount Wrangell sits in front of you with smoke from it's crater seeping out, and the view down the Copper Glacier to the head waters of the Copper River are endless.
